“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.” He is the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for Him?

He is the God of never-too-late. He is the God of here and now, the God of every tomorrow. He is the God of second chances, of life out of death, of beauty from ashes. He is the God of rivers-in-wastelands and trees springing up in the desert.

In Him brittle and desolate bones find life again, dry bones begin to dance. Feet dragging through dust start to run without growing weary, those tired feet walk and do not grow faint.

Let Him have the heart broken and barricaded, hurt and hardened. He will replace it with a heart alive in fresh mercy, in perfect love that has no fear.

Our blind-to-His-way eyes will see and our distracted ears will hear, if we are brave enough to step out of our noise (oh, there is so much noise I make for myself) and wait in His presence.
